Sassuolo midfielder Manuel Locatelli has reportedly emerged as a potential transfer target for Arsenal.
After a disappointing Premier League campaign, Mikel Arteta will make several changes to his first-team squad during the summer window.
With Dani Ceballos and Martin Odegaard returning to parent club Real Madrid, the Spaniard is expected to be in the market for a new midfielder.
According to Goal.com, the Premier League outfit will give consideration to a big-money move for Locatelli, who has also been linked with Manchester City.
The report claims that Arsenal previously scouted the now 23-year-old when he broke into the first-team setup at AC Milan as a teenager.
Having starred for Sassuolo since 2018, Locatelli is expected to move to a bigger club before the start of the 2021-22 campaign.
